Setting an elegantly casual table tells others “I see you, I love you, you are special to me.” It is one way we can serve those around us. It is also a simple way to help others understand that the table is the anchor of the home, and it is important.
To keep the setting simple, treat it like you would when accessorizing yourself. Decorating a table is no different than wearing a little black dress. We throw on the basic smock, but we change the look by adding a scarf, earrings, heels or flats. When we decorate a home, we stay with solids and neutrals as our anchor pieces but we change the look and celebrate the seasons with our accessories like patterned pillows, colorful throws and floral arrangements.
Tablescapes are no different. At Celebrate By Lisa Lou we like to stay with basic, timeless pieces then accessorize with various linens, salad plates, napkin rings, chargers, and center pieces. Our overall theme is always simple, though. A place setting, a few candles, and a centerpiece. Save the over-the-top tables for very special occasions. Let every day bring in the simplicity of elegance.
Together with you,
Lisa Lou
